Bryant Books

One of the few good SADDLE CLUB books out there. When Lisa and her mother go to see a rather fancy family, Lisa is bored to death with their daughter. Even more disgusting, she has to listen to the mother and daughter talk about how fancy the horses and riders are. She ends up riding an old gray mare, Tiny, who turns out to be sweet. Then she injures her foot after the girl leaves her and her only hope is Tiny. This book is inspiring, exciting, actionpacked, beautiful, and funny all at the same time. I reccomend it to any Saddle Club fan and it will never stay on a bookshelf for long.

Lisa and her family go and visit a friend of Lisa's mother. Marguerite, her mother's friend's daughter rides too. When she and Lisa ride together, Marguerite puts Lisa on an old mare, Tiny. When they split up and starts to rain, and Lisa falls off Tiny and gets injured, Tiny takes care of her. I thought that was amazing! Finally the Saddle Club arrives and helps her, and she is fine.

i loved this book. i highly reomend this book. i could not stop reading this great book. i read it all day even in school. i liked the plot. it got better and better as i read along. i also like how there is 3 madger things going on at a time, lisa being stuck riding with a nasty little gerk who dose lots of stupied things, named Marguerite. stevie trying to hith carol up with a boy that know everything about horses named Tate but it turns out that Tate can't ride and then the challeng is to dump Tate.,in the meantime Calypso is about to have a foal and needs speichelle attenchen. what happen with Marguerite,Tate,Calypso and her foal,and what the foal will be named is all in this book if you love horses read this book

I've been reading this series since they came out and own all of the books B.B. has written for it. This is by far one of my FAVS and proves horses do understand whats going on and can be one of your closest alies! I also recomend the THOROUGHBRED series though there are some story line flaws they are also a must have!

Horse Care is a really good book. It demonstrates a lot that Lisa has feelings toward her mother pushing her around and it really affects her-not that she would tell her mom that! Though, I wish that it was more realistic that a horse would actually take care of you and let you lean on them when you were hurt in the freezing cold rain after being spooked. Not that my horse is selfish-he loves me (i hope!), but I just can't see him or any other horse I know lying down right next to a human in less than ideal conditions. Also, I really don't think that 12 year-olds (in reality) practice pirouettes in riding class. That's way too advanced for anyone that age!
Carole and Stevie have met a boy that just started riding at Pine Hollow and he knows as much about horses as Carole, but that doesn't mean he has everything, does it? (You learn a lot of interesting horse facts!) I hope I didn't sound too critical or give too much a way- I really love the Saddle Club! I have like 70-something of Ms. Bryant books!

REVIEWED BY: Wayne Walker

This book is about the Ethiopian famine of the 1980s. Jane Kurtz grew up in a remote village in the southwest corner of Ethiopia, although her biography does not say whether her family's being there was as missionaries, diplomats, military, charitable, Peace Corps, or what. Until 1974, people of various ethnic and religious groups, including Orthodox, Jewish, Muslims, and native religions, generally co-existed in a somewhat uneasy peace in the East African nation of Ethiopia, which basically was favorable toward the West, although prejudice and persecution did exist, especially toward the Jews (known as Beta Israel).
However, in 1974, the last of a long line of "Christian" Ethiopian emperors, Haile Selassie, was dethroned. The military committee which removed him promised better things, but by 1977 the government had turned away from the West and begun cooperating with the Soviet Union, and, as in most places where communism has been tried, things went from bad to worse. The problems were compounded during the 1980s by a war resulting from the revolt of Eritrea, a northeastern province seeking independence supported by neighboring Somalia and Sudan, and a great draught throughout the whole region. Persecution against the Jews increased. I remember reading and seeing news reports of that time period about massive air lifts by the Israeli government of Jews from Ethiopia to Israel.
This book of children's fiction, drawn from true stories told by Beta Israel who emigrated to Jerusalem, tells about two girls, one a blind Beta Israel named Rahel and the other, Sahay, from the Christian Kemata ethnic group, who are fleeing to a refuge camp in Sudan. Becoming separated from their relatives, they must overcome the prejudices that each group has against the other and learn to help one another. While the author does not shrink from describing the horrors of their condition and the terrors of their journey, there is nothing in this book that is inappropriate for children. One thing that helps give them courage are the Old Testament stories that Rahel's grandmother has told her using the beads that she had given her. The book reinforces several positive lessons, such as learning forebearance with others, what it means to be a friend, and keeping hope alive in one's heart. Kurtz has written several factual books about Ethiopia, but this is her first novel.

Much of this story is told through what is not said and those unable to read between the lines and put themselves in the characters shoes may not understand it.
In brief, it is about two girls. One is from the Qement tribe and the other from Beta-Israel (or negatively called a Falasha). Their journey of distress sees them move from being focussed on their differences to appreciating what they have in common both now and historically. They also realise how they can care for one another while fleeing the brutal men taking over their country. There are also the typical interactions between young children who are not quite sure what to think about a type of person they are unfamiliar with.
The ending leaves one filled with both wonder and hope.

Jane Kurtz lived in Ethiopia, and in this middle school aged novel, she tells a story of the senseless prejudices that girls from two different tribes have grown up with, stating ridiculous stereotypes about tribes they had never met. When girls from two opposing tribles find themselves in the same refugee camp and are forced to get to know each other and help each other survive, they wonder why those silly notions persisted, because nothing they learn about each other group seems true now that they know each other.

I was interested in this book as a part of an upcoming curriculum on Christian character development, and I must say that I was well pleased. It tells a story that many of us in the Western world have seen only through the news media, but television cannot completely portray the plight of those caught in the middle of the resource-depleted and war-torn Ethiopia. This tale brings that story to the forefront through the lives of two young ladies, one a Christian and one an Ethiopian Jew. This story addresses stereotypes and predjudice and the fact that, at the root of all our biases, we all have far more similarities than differences.

The Storyteller's Beads was an okay book. This book had a cool plot, it was about two girls from different religions escaping from Ethiopia. The girls were separated from their family when Ethiopian soldiers caught them escaping. There were also several bad things about this book; such as, the book switched from girl to girl every other chapter before they meet each other. Another thing I did not like about this book is the way there was no suspense. Every time that you didn't know what was going to happen, the suspense would stop and you would know what the truth was in a couple sentences. For example, when the girls were trying to escape Ethiopia they started to get shot at by Ethiopian bandits and a couple sentences after I read this, I knew what the result of the shooting was. All in all I give this book a 3 out of 5 star rating.

This book is part how-to guide and part novel, but all fun. Learn to bring out a more sensual you and then follow three very different, but likable heroines as they do the same. I liked the idea and the execution.

Flirty and fun, WEAPONS OF MASS SEDUCTION teaches the reader to remember the sensual side of life. Pia Jamison is every woman: a music executive who has found success on all fronts. She has no problem landing a man or using her feminine prowess to entice them. But, she is fed up with failed relationships and heartache and commits herself to celibacy. As time passes and the internal clock winds down, Pia gives up on landing a relationship and seeks a man to simply aid in fathering a child.

After her laughable attempt at securing a donor, Pia's assistant enrolls her in the seminar: Weapons of Mass Seduction. And so begins the journey for both Pia and the reader, as the story delves deeply into the lives of Pia and two other woman whose sensual selves have been denied for far too long.

This novel is an entertaining read with its sassy humor and headstrong heroine. As the reader learns, sensuality has very little to do with sex, so although Pia has proven that she can be an elegant femme fatale, even she needs to brush up on her sensual skills. The beauty in this story is its exploration of Pia's insecurities as she stumbles in love and then allows fear and doubt to undermine her efforts. Although WEAPONS OF MASS SEDUCTION initially has a light edge to it, it eventually delves into deeper issues, honest and painful examining, as Pia struggles through events that would devastate even the strongest shero.

Here, Lori Woolridge-Bryant successful creates a unique an intriguing story about the delight of femininity and the power of sensuality. This novel promises, and certainly succeeds, in unleashing the sensual self of its readers while thoroughly entertaining them in the process.

Pia Jamison is a music video executive who is in her 40s and is still single. Pia has given up on the idea of marriage but her biological clock is loudly ticking. Since her self-imposed celibacy, Pia is out of practice when trying to attract a man so her assistant tricks her into attending a flirting workshop called Weapons of Mass Seduction. At the workshop, Pia meets two other women named Florence and Rebecca. Florence is a Texas southern belle that is desperately trying to save her marriage. Rebecca is a small town girl who is trying to become the seductive diva that she always wanted to be. The three women go back home to practice what they've learned. Flo reunites with her husband but she's now uncertain if she wants to stay in her stagnant marriage. Rebecca now has become confident and sexy "Becca" but is she going too far? Pia gets pregnant and falls in love but it's not with her baby's father. What will become of these three women?

Weapons of Mass Seduction is an informative, delightful novel by Lori Bryant-Woolridge. Woolridge expertly created a perfect mix of an engaging storyline and a sensuality manual rolled into one. Pia, Flo, and Becca all come from different backgrounds but all of them are longing to become enticing, sensual women. These characters represent what a lot of women are going through on a daily basis. Readers will find that the tips that these women learn through the workshop can be applied to their own lives. Woolridge even includes Weapons of Mass Seduction self tests in the back of the book to see how seductive you are. This story has a healthy dose of humor and emotionally intense scenes that will stick with you long after you finished the last page. Weapons of Mass Seduction is a fun read that should be enjoyed by all women.

Fortysomething Pia Jamison has the booming career every woman wants. She is finacially stable, and now her biological clock is ticking loudly. There's just one problem, she's vowed celibacy and is not romantically involved with anyone. Her relationship problems land her at a flity workshp called "Weapons of Mass Seduction" where she meets two other women who are also trying to find their flirtatious selves as well.

I was excited about the topic of the book. I first flipped to the back and was intrigued by the quizzes to see if I was a WMS! I thought that the book was well written. There was a lull in the middle of the book where I struggled to keep my attention focused on reading, but towards the end, the pace picked up and the book finished well. I did find myself wanting to have more insight on Becca and Flo. It seemed as I read the back that I would know more about them, then I was only introduced to them at the WMS workshop and through glimpses afterwards in the storyline. I think the author missed out on an opportunity to really explode with making Becca and Flo have more of their own storyline.

I would recommend this book for your reading pleasure! And make sure to take the test to find out if you are a WMS!

Pia, Flo and Becca all trying to get their groove back or wanting to awaken the diva in them for several different reasons meet up at a workshop titled Weapons of Mass Seduction. The reader gets to journey with the characters as they progress in this 4 day workshop of flirtation and seduction skills.
We are allowed to see how these women put their skills to the test once they get home. The problem is the book lacks luster and pizazz once they arrive home. The storyline drags and you find yourself going from warm to cold very quickly. I absolutely enjoyed the idea of the book however it seems trying to continue the story after the seminar was a challenge for the author. None the less I belive it is worth the read. Plus this is one of my favorite authors.

THE AUTHOR OF THIS BOOK HAS NO EXPERIENCE COVERING SPORTS. IN HER FIRST ATTEMPT I THINK SHE DOES A VERY GOOD JOB DESCRIBING THE CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON OF THE 2000 LAKERS. THE DETAILED RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE PLAYERS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS BOOK. NOT ONLY KOBE AND SHAQ BUT ALL THE OTHER PLAYERS ARE OF INTEREST IN THIS STORY. FROM ROBERY HORRY TO RICK FOX TO PHIL JACKSON, YOU FIND OUT SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT EACH ONE OF THEM. BUT THE MAIN STORY IS THE COMING OF AGE OF KOBE FROM A BALL HOG TO A COMPLETE PLAYMAKER AND PASSER. I RECOMMEND THIS FOR ALL BASKETBALL FANS.

this Book takes on the inside on what got the Lakers to there Championship Level.SHAQ&KOBE are Unstoppable Period as a Duo.this Team really is something else because they have done what no other Teams that have had Championship Runs have done&that is Turn it On&Off whenever they feel like it.in the Words of Blake Carrington this is a Dynasty.and Phil Jackson has Spreaded the Zen&Brought this Team together as One.Mad Props to SHAQ You are The Baddest,Kobe 5 Years from now who is gonna stop you? Rick Fox,D-Fish,Brian Shaw Robert (Big Bucket)Horry&the whole Crew. time for Number 3.then another Chapter continues next Year&so On.

Ain't No Tomorrow is a remarkably insightful book that reads like a novel. After viewing the past several games the Lakers have played against the Kings, you have to ask how they manage to pull it off. They seem slow, not having a plan. They just are, is a Zen-like Phil Jackson way. But Kaye's absorbing book tells a much more complicated story, about egos and personal conflicts, especially between Shaq and Kobe, as well as unerutilized talent, that allows us to understand the team's unique dynamics.

Ain't No Tomorrow offers a unique perspective on the 2000-2001 World Champion L.A.Lakers in that Ms. Kaye is an outsider with very little - if any - previous basketball experience. She develops close relationships with many of the players, coaches, and members of the travelling media. The best aspect of this book is it's commentary on the individual relationships between the players and coaches. From a basketball standpoint, however, it is found wanting. Kaye's basketball terms and descriptions leave much to be desired as she continually uses improper terms and awkward phrases that detract from the flow of the book. A good read for a die-hard Laker fan - but if you're only going to read one Laker book - I'd pick a different one. Lyle Spencer's perhaps.

This is a good book for part-time Laker fans. They get to learn a lot about locker room stories.
But if you're someone who regularly follow the Lakers'exploits during the season, on the internet or otherwise, you're not getting any wiser by reading this book. The author was just repeating articles form the LA Times, OCR and other sources. Reading passages in the book you get the feeling that you've already read that somewhere else.
This ain't a David Halberstram book.

I, too, wish the author would tell us what Carole's PSAT score was. If it's that important to the book, we should at least get a rough number. It was hard to believe, too, especially since Carole scored higher than Lisa. That seemed impossible considering how much effort Lisa puts into her schoolwork.

Anyway, Stevie has become a school reporter and is profiling a "marriage" project the class is doing. She is going to focus on herself, her friend Callie, and Veronica diAngelo, who isn't happy with either her partner or Stevie interviewing her.

i luved this book. it was really the best. i cant belive stevie t6hought that kid liked her though.

I think Pine Hollow is a great serie and also this book. But i've got a question: I don't understand why the characters in the English version are having different names from the German version. In German Lisa is called Julia and Stevie is called Jenny. This are also English names, aren't they?

BACK IN THE SADDLE IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST PINE HOLLOW BOOKS I HAVE READ. THINGS BACK AT CAROLE'S HOME ARE BACK TO NORMAL. OF COURSE SHE CAN'T GO TO THE STABLE OR CHAT WITH HER FRIENDS WHEN SHE WANTS, BUT THAT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE. CAROLE SCORED EXTREMELY HIGH ON THE PSAT'S AND HER FATHER RELENTED AND LET HER GO TO PINE HOLLOW FOR FOUR DAYS A WEEK! ALTHOUGH SHE'S NOT ALLOWED TO WORK, FOUR DAYS A WEEK IS BETTER THAN NOTHING. MEANWHILE, LISA'S HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF LOVE AND ROMANCE. EVER SINCE SHE GOT BACK FROM GOOD OLD CALIFORNIA SHE HASN'T FELT THE SAME WAY TOWARDS ALEX LIKE SHE USED TO. ALEX FEELS THE SAME WAY, SO THEY DECIDE TO TAKE A BREAK FROM EACH OTHER AND DATE OTHER PEOPLE, AND THEN THEY WILL MEET ON NEW YEARS AND TALK. NOW ABOUT STEVIE. STEVIE'S GETTING MARRIED! BUT NOT TO PHIL. FENTON HALL HAS A KNEW TRADITION GETTING MARRIED FOR AWHILE TO SEE HOW THEY CAN MANAGE. I WON'T RUIN THIS PART, BUT I GOT TO SAY IT IS HILARIOUS! STEVIE IS ALSO JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS, AS USUAL. SHE THINKS THAT SCOTT FORESTER IS IN LOVE WITH HER, AND THAT'S WHY HE'S HANGING AROUN PINE HOLLOW SO OFTEN. THIS BOOK IS AN AWESOME BOOK. I WON'T RUIN THE ENDING FOR YOU, BUT I RECCOMMEND THIS BOOK HIGHLY.

This was a great book!!i think it is so great that stevie got the assignment on the marraige thing!! the only thing that could have been different was that i think Callie should have a boyfriend -since they say she is so Hot!- and the guy she was paired up with was realy perfect!!To change the subject,i think that George is totaly gross and the perfect NERD!!But i wish that Callie would just tell him off once and for all!!To put it in a nutshell I think bonnie is a real good writer and should keep it up!! ((((and i think Lisa should go out with Scott))))

This is the first book I read by Ms. Bryant, but it definitely won't be the last. I was not sure what to expect from this author but I loved this book and felt like I knew the characters personally. I can't wait until 2008 to read the sequel. Keep up the good work - you have a new fan!!!!

There are so many words to describe this book. Great! Fantastic! Wonderful. It will have you thinking on so many different levels. There are several underlying messages thru out. I have read many books from this author and this tops it. 2008, can not come quick enough, I am ready to see what will happen to Cristal, Dom, Alize, Moe. Niobia you have done a great job, keep the books coming.

I read this book in one day! Very good book, I enjoyed this book and now I am waiting for the sequel since it left lots of unanswered questions. I want Moet to find love, Alize to get back with Cameron, to see if Dom is going to slip again and to see is Cristal is going to go back to her money hungry, wanna be baller wife ways! I can't wait to see!

Beginning with Aliz'e, leading up to Cristal, let's not forget Dom, and we couldn't do with Moet!!! These four best friends all have life worked out to fit their own personal designs, which may not be perfect to someone else, but guess what, it's working for them.

ALIZ'E is a product of divorced parents and she's playing the field, albeit discreetly for that mighty dollar, while striving to keep her own ends intact. CRISTAL lives with the insecurity derived from being an orphan, but she's working independently to live that designer labeled life with a major player in her eyesight. Don't hate the player, hate the game! DOM battles low self-esteem due to her dark complexion and her gutter mother that has no problem smoking weed with her child, as long as she keeps the funds flowing frequently. She's a druggie and a stripper with a child that she doesn't have the time or patience for. And then there was MOET...she lives the good life, in church, all prim and proper all while under the watchful eyes of her super-saved parents, keeping it on the down-low doing the Diggety with the good reverend while bowed down in prayer!!! Whatchu say!!! "Live and Learn" is spell-binding with the unfolding of all the drama in these four ladies lives.

Ms. Bryant has mos def credited herself in this urban genre with a style of story-telling that will have your begging for more and dreading the assured ending! Sistagirl has been in the game for a while and shows that she DOES indeed have staying power! Rising to the occasion of getting out of her comfort zone with a job very well done! If you're searching for a great read, "Oops, here it is!" Get ya read on!

Kudo's Ms. Bryant!!!

What a page turner! In reading the first couple of pages I almost put this book down, because the nicknames Alize, Cristal, Dom & Moet gave the book a real "ghetto" start & immediately got on my nerves. I am so glad that I got past those first 3 or 4 pages because the story was very good, well written and had me experiencing deja vu. These four "sisters" wanting the finer things in life and sacrifing their morals, self respect & even their bodies to get them definately brought back memories of my early twenties. The funny thing is, just like these ladies, things were "all good," crazy and sooo much fun for me & my girlfriends until karma catches up with you. The title is so appropriate, because just as it states you "Live & Learn" as you travel through life's tumultuous ups and downs. Great Read

Great book... does anyone have any suggestions of where to get it?

i have only the cheats of the zerg the others nothing because i have only read the zerg cheats thats why i want to review it because i want to know the cheats of the terran, the protoss the zerg i only knew some the zerglings will turn into a mutalisk

THIS BOOK GAVE ME FIRST PLACE IN THE LADDER ON BATTLE.NET . IF YOUR A NEWBIE STICK WITH PRIMA... BUT EXBERTS GET THIS . IF YOUR AS GOOD AS ME ON BATTLE.NET ALREADY LEAVE THIS ALONE.....

I've had this book for several months. I read it in about two days. If you are a really good Starcraft player and have very good strategies (you can take on 4 comps or more) then this book won't help you. This book will help you, however, if you aren't that good. If it challenges you to take on two computers, this book will help you. I was already good at Starcraft before I got this book. The main thing I learned was about Zerg spells and variable fleats. This book has two main disadvantages: it does not include brood war units and it uses up too much space on unimportant information like unit and map properties. If you are very good at Starcraft, the best strategies you can get are from yourself. Hard core strategies can't be put on paper easily. One thing that I thought was very useless was the unit properties of all the Terran, Protoss and Zerg units. IF YOU ARE VERY GOOD, YOU DON'T NEED THIS BOOK! ...

This book was great! The Saddle Club's friend Tessa is at Pine Hollow but she has been spending more time with Veronica then The Saddle Club. But then the girls THINK she is make Lisa and her mom do more work then they can do for the big horse show coming up. And they also THINK she is make Carole do more work around the stable. And she is making Stevie angry and sad because they THINK she likes Stevie boyfriend Phil. Is Tessa doing all that stuff to them or is Veronica behind it all?

THIS BOOK was so dumb. All it was was, like most Saddle Club books, about snobs trying to act know-it-allish, and regular girls trying to get revenge! There wasn't even that much stuff about horses! Don't waste your money.

English Rider is one of the best Saddle Club books. The Saddle Clubs' friend Tessa from England has come to visit. After playing a prank on thier worst enemy, Veronica, Tessa seems to have befriended her. Every time they come close to doing something as a group Tessa runs off with Veronica. So when the Saddle Club finally gets a chance to have a sleepover with Tessa actually there, they aren't sure she will come. Well Tessa does end up showing up, but the talkitive and giggling group doesn't say a word. Tessa isn't even going on and on about her and Veronica's days shopping, flirting, and ignoring the Saddle Club. What they don't know is that Tessa has a big suprise that no one expects.

Carole Hanson is feeling down and not in the holiday mood because of memories of her mother who passed away from cancer. But her friends and father are planning a surprise, one that's probably the biggest one she's ever had. Plus, the girls will get to go on the Starlight Ride, a nightime Christmas Eve
tradition at Pine Hollow. Little does Carole know what's in store for her at the end of it.

This book was good and I like the way Bonnie had Carole riding Starlight, or Petty Boy as he was called, to Pine Hollow because Veronica thought her horse, Garnet, was sick but Lisa, Stevie, Phil, and Phil's best friend, A.J. played a joke on her. This book was petty good. It's a book that you would love to read if you like romance, are horse-crazy, and would like to own a horse.

I think this could be my Favourite Saddle Club Book but i like all the ones i have read..........

[I'm sorry if my English is too bad too understand something;-)]

"Starlight Chrismas (in Germany it was "Ausritt imSchnee Sattelclub Band Nr. 14") " is really one of my favourite S.C. books. I read one month before christmas, and after twenty pages I couldn't expect the 24. of december anymore! No doubt the best part was when Ben, Stevie, Phil and Lisa made Veronica's horse "sick"... Or when Carole's father told her that Starlight belonged her... Or when Veronica's "friends" found out that they had brought their own horses outside... Or... -this book has so many highlights that I read it about 5 times whithout getting tired of it. My only problem with the original books from america is that so many characters have different names like in Germany- for ex. : Stevie Lake= Jenny Lake Carole Hanson = Laura Hanson Lisa Atwood = Julia Atwood Starlight = Silberstern and so on

And here all books come out 2 years later and are not in the same order like the originals. ( Only one serie ) Maybe I'll read a Saddle Club book sometime in English...

The holidays just haven't been the same since Carole Hanson's mother died.She isn't in the Christmas spirit,and she hasn't caught on to her best friends Stevie Lake's and Lisa Atwood's Christmas joy-yet that is.Judy Barker,Pine Hollow's vet,hires Carole as a temporary assistant,and Carole begins to cheer up a little.Not to mention,she'll have the Starlight Ride to look forward to,which she as Pine Hollow's top rider will be leading this year!The best is yet to come.An unsuspenting Carole doesn't even know what her dad and horse-crazy friends have in store for her.
This is a great book!Hardly sad at all.Another awesome Saddle Club book!

This is my very, VERY favorite Saddle Club book out of all of them! I haven't read this book in a long time and I don't own this book yet, but I am getting it for my birthday and I have read it before when I got it out of the library.
First, Lisa remembers that when Amelia was little, she destroyed Lisa's favorite book and pulled her dog's tail. Then, when Amelia arrives at the Atwoods', she wants to go to a different restaurant than the one that they were planning on going to.
Then, the Pony Tails (some younger girls at the stable) ask Amelia to help them out and she won't. She gets Carole in trouble and actually starts being friends with Veronica, but not for long--she's so bratty she gets in a fight with even Veronica!
This is my favorite Saddle Club book and most likely my favorite book I've ever read. YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rare for a Saddle Club book, this would actually be GOOD if it weren't so easy! You zip through it! Aside from that, it's great. Everyone is unfair to Lisa and the Saddle Club when actually Amelia does the mischeif that the Saddle Club is blamed for! Like when an antique hobby horse of the Atwood's is broken, a horse is spooked and nearly hurts someone...the list goes on. Then Amelia does something so bad it clears the Saddle Club's name.

Lisa, Stevie, and Carole are brats just like Amelia, only on a milder scale. Just because Veronica's a snob doesn't mean they have to be so immature and make Max mad.....i mean, real girls don't put horse plop in a boot just because they don't like someone! and there is hardly anything about horses anyway, it's more about revenge and crushes. I-M-M-A-T-U-R-E! Read THOROUGHBRED. It is a much better read and there is so much about horses! READ THOROUGHBRED!

In this book you will find yourself face to face with a big brat! Amelia and that is Lisa's cousin and Amelia made me so mad I wanted to scream! I can't belive that Lisa and her friends took on the challenges that Amelia threw at them so well! This really shows the girls courage in this must read book!

WOW, was this ever a good book! I've read it about a million times! Amelia is such a brat around other kids but around adults, she couldn't be more perfect. First, she breaks Lisa's hobbyhorse, then gets Carole in trouble with max, and starts hanging around Veronica and then teases the Pony Tails. Then when Max hears the Saddle Club's side of the story, they get to decide wether or not she can keep riding at Pine Hollow for the rest of her trip. Will the Saddle Club put her in her place? Read it and find out!!!!
